Kurt loses his bitcoins

Kurt explains how he lost his bitcoins on an untrustworthy exchange, Bleutrade, and he also lost a phone and the money for a laptop in a business deal. After much anguish and consideration, one night he had a vision explaining that there was somehow a greater purpose to his misfortune – that the lessons were to make good use of his material blessings, and to be conscious of them and his surroundings in order to keep safe.

Chris explains how cryptocurrency reacts as a system

Chris compares Kurt’s story to how cryptocurrency works as an economic and technological system. Every time there is a security risk exposed by people losing money in one way or another, the wisdom starts to filter through the economy, and people develop subsystems to prevent this happening again.
